- What if they notice?
Gold didn't answer, as he already tried to answer a few times to this question in the past week, in vain. They went back to school a month ago, and were doing pretty good when it came to hiding their relationship to other students. None of them had changed their habits, and if they didn't count the ones that already knew, nobody knew. It took more than a week to Krystal to manage to sleep alone, and two more for her to fall asleep without them being on the phone. Gold's mother, understanding the problem, had tried multiple times to invite her to sleep over, but her father aways opposed it and they had to manage without his authorisation.
Gold and Krystal almost didn't see each other during the school day, each busy with their own lives, and when they ate together in public, they stayed silent. But they couldn't avoid touching when they were next to each other, which made Blue laugh a lot. He took up the habit of waiting for Krystal at the end of the street of their school to walk her home, and came to fetch her every morning, to her father's great demise. Krystal sighed again, taking Gold back to the present problem.
- What do I tell them ?
- You deny everything, like you'd rather die than approach me more than necessary for work.
- I don't know how to lie.
- So I'll lie for you then.
- They'll see you're defending me.
- I can let them understand I'm interested in you but you wouldn't let me near, offered Gold.
- I don't know if it would work... Thought Krystal.
- We'll try, I asked Blue to help us, she'll divert their attention with Green or launch an attack towards Red and Yellow, worst case scenario.
- Gold, that ain't fair-play ! Protested Krystal.
- Maybe, but they are public now, even if paparazzis can't seem to get a proper shot.
The girl grumbled, and he slipped his hand into hers with a smile. He only let her go a few meters before the agency's street, and they went into a public bathroom to change. He was almost done when Krystal called him, panicked. He stormed into the ladies' bathroom, just to see her in her bike shorts she usually put under her skirt and in a light tank top.
- What, what is it ?
- I forgot my change, whined the girl, I can't go like this...
He gave her his parka he still had in hand, staying in his t-shirt, and smiled. She had a small laugh, and held it againd her with obvious relief, breathing in his smell on the cloth. He got out of the bathroom before anyone could get him arrested, and waited patiently as he pushed his back against the wall. When she got out, he explained the plan that had popped in his mind, and she nodded. They could do it.
They were the last ones, and sat uneasily on their spots between Yellow et Silver. Journalists were waiting in another room for them to be ready, and Gold adjusted his goggles and cap nervously. Then they came inside the room and began installing their shooting stuff. There was a woman and two men who rushed to install tie-mics on the young actors clothes while the woman was putting on a microphone on a stand before opening a computer while one of the men put few cameras on the table, checking on the computer that everyone was showing. The other one prepared a second laptop where he checked the live recording and audio level before motionning to the woman to begin.
Betsujump, central page, interview of main actors from the Pokespe series while the fifteenth season has begun its shooting. Interview by miss Haruka, expert in leaks and rumours about idols' lives.
Haruka : Welcome, thank you everyone for coming here!
Silver : When can we go back?
Haruka : Sorry Silver, not yet, I have crispy information to pick up. Firstly, your opinion about the two newcomers of the series, their pictures have been released just yesterday, please tell us about it, Green you go first?
Green : ... If they work well, no way it wouldn't go well.
Haruka : Very well... Red, what do you think?
Red : I like my job, but frankly speaking, the more seasons they make, the less the actors from the first parts are called, it allows us to go back to normal lives so it's cool.
Haruka : Yes, I know what you mean... *stares intently at Yellow* Even if you don't answer the original question. Blue, your opinion?
Blue : It may seem unusual, but I agree with both of them, and free time is really time-consuming in the end.Of course, if they need us to come back for a great final, it would be a pleasure. But why do a final when you have the golden eggs' duck? I think we will be more and more free.
Haruka : And you Yellow, I suppose you're happy not being on the spotlight anymore?
Yellow : Yes.
Haruka : Gold, I know you hit it off well with Blue, you'd be able to tell me more ?
Gold : Those Kouhais seem sympathetic, I saw the girl is being targeted on the web for her Scottish accent, that's too bad because it's kinda cute, like Whai's french accent. I can't say for Hecks, this dude rarely talks at all. What's more, her buddy isn't taking anything at all, that's kinda unfair if I say so. However, those starters, seriously...
Haruka : Thanks Gold. Krystal?
Krystal : I'm happy for them, I'm impatient to see their work on screen.
Haruka : Yeah, we all can't wait for it. Next, Silver?
Silver : No comment.
Ruby : You're always like that man, did someone talk-traumatized you or something?
Silver : Leave me alone.
Ruby : I will answer you, this girl is cute, but that fat, baglike jumper, gods THAT's a fashion faux-pas, it fattens her too much, it's so sad, I'd rather have her wear...
Sapphire : Yeah right, imma cut you there 'cause we're long gone if you go on like this. I'm sure they'll ace it.
Emerald : You can't know about it, they could be as tiring as you for what we know!
Haruka : Thanks, Pearl, you have an opinion about it ?
Pearl : About what?
Diamond : 'Bout youngshtershrsh
Platina : Dia, swallow before talking please. I'm sure those youngsters will manage Haruka-san, I know they've been chosen for their talent.
White : Yeah, when the agency leads a recruitment campaign, they know how to find talents and exploit them to their full potential.
Black : And I'm sure they're motivated!
Faitsu : I think you're the most motivated out of everyone Black, way ahead.
Rakutsu : The important, is that they're able to follow their manager's instructions.
Whai : blah-blah-blah, you're too serious Rakutsu, chill dude !
Hecks : meh.
Selene : Still talkative as ever Hecks. They still need to be happy in their jobs, won't they?
Sun : As long as they pay is sufficient, that's the principal.
Selene : Once it's about money, you're on...
Blue : He's not totally wrong, profit is important.
Green : Vulture.
Haruka : Weeeeeell, now let's get off topic, Red, Yellow, you got it official, when did you began?
Red : ...
Yellow : *blushing furiously*
Haruka : okay... Blue, you're my favourite information source, you know that right?
Green : 'Cause you're plugged in the same delirium.
Haruka : You finally want to talk Green?
Green : ...
Haruka : So, Blue?
Blue : Well, I don't know if you noticed Krystal's outfit, it's really unsusual isn't it?
Haruka : I do see it, you know where this parka is from?
Blue : absolutely. I'll have you know it's Gold's. The top she had was too... revealing for him, so he kinda forced her to put it on.
Krystal : But...!
Gold : There was no way I could let you go like that !
Haruka : You could have lent her your shirt now couldn't you?
Gold : So you could guess and tell the name of my school in your magazine? No, thanks.
Haruka : What would it change if she showed a little cleavage?
Gold : ... *Blushes slightly*
Haruka : nooooo?!?! Gold is... In love ?
Blue : It's been weeks, he stalks her everywhere!
Haruka : And Krystal?
Krystal : Not telling.
Haruka : So it's one-sided? Poor Gold, don't loose hope, you can get her with time, look at Blue and Green!
Green : *scandalised*
Blue : What the ...?!?!! How can you say that, there's no way!
Haruka : You thought you'd manage to hide it? You're making too much efforts kid, look at Platina, she's discreet, HER. Of course young ones, I know many things as I look at you! But I cannot guess how and that's what's interesting me.
Blue : That's none of your concern, why don't you annoy the kids?
Haruka : Because THEY don't try to hide. Everyone knows about their relationship, and they're coping quite well. You're so much funnier to annoy.
Green : *gets up* this interview has ended, thank you for your work, I wish you a nice day.
End of the interview, you can find the videos on Betsujump's website, don't hesitate to give your opinions on the forum, Facebook and Twitter pages, next month we'll present you the first exclusive interview of the famous new actors for fifteenth season of Pokespe.
Aaaaand that's all folks !
Hope you liked this story, if anyone has a copy of the fanfic where Blue cheats with her Clefary (unless it's a Jigglypuff? I'm not sure anymore) for a king's game OR if anyone knows the author, I'd love to read it again (I read it on FF at the time, but when I wanted to read it again, it was gone... sniff)
See you on our next fanfic adventure :) !
